The Fall Velocity Program consists of developmental phases similar in timing and intensity as that of professional baseball players in their off-seasons.  The Fall phase from September 30th to November 30th provides the foundation to velocity improvements that will be apparent in March.  This phase consists of weight training specific to the ages and movement quality of the individual athletes and progresses to full body power training.  Getting stronger, more mobile, and more powerful as a throwing athlete is the primary focus of this phase and will be built upon in the subsequent phases of the Pro X Velocity Program.

“Over 80% of the muscles involved in throwing have no attachment to the arm.  We train the athlete to use those muscles to assist the arm in healthy throwing at higher velocities.  All of our methods are simply tools in our toolbox to use for each athlete.  We don’t believe in velocity at all costs.  We believe in throwing well first, then throwing harder.” – Dr. Jamey Gordon

2-3 Days a Week
September 30 – November 30
Monday – 6:30-7:30pm or 8:15-9:15pm
Thursday – 6:30-7:30pm or 8:15-9:15pm
Saturday – 10:00-11:00am

The Winter Velocity Program begins in December and will serve as the transition from the foundational strength phase in the Fall to using that strength to develop full body power movements that will create increased velocity.  December also serves as the ramp up period for throwing.  This period of throwing will focus on throwing technique and gradual increase in throwing tolerance.  Again, arm health AND performance are our goals, and we take a gradual, progressive phase of throwing before increasing intensity and volume – which is crucial for injury prevention.

Progressing into January, throwing intensity increases and workouts become more refined to velocity-specific movements.  Long toss, throwing mechanics, weighted balls will be used in the program – but under strict guidance and in a safe and guided environment.  Each athlete will have their own prescription for velocity development with injury prevention with developing velocity as the primary goal.

2-3 Days a Week
Begins December 2
Monday – 6:30-7:30pm or 8:15-9:15pm
Thursday – 6:30-7:30pm or 8:15-9:15pm
Saturday – 10:00-11:00am

Our Junior Classes are offered to our younger athletes who are either at the beginner level of pitching and throwing development or looking to continue building on a solid foundation of youth development to take their skills to the next level.  The Foundation of our Junior Classes will focus on developing functional and healthy throwing mechanics, while delivering consistent pitch execution leading to an increase in strike percentage – throwing fewer pitches per inning, per game, per season – ultimately leading to shorter recovery periods and arm health maintenance.

• Emphasis on Arm Care and Arm Health

• Daily Throwing Plan to Build Arm Strength and Arm Endurance

• Identify a Comfortable Full Wind-Up and Stretch Technique

• Pitch Development and Execution

• Game Management – Controlling the Running Game and PFPs

January 14th – March 31st
Classes meet 2-days a week – See schedule below for times.

Our Intermediate Classes are offered to our Middle School athletes (generally) who are athletes looking to further develop as a pitcher as they continue to build strength and grow as a higher lever/elite athlete.  Our Intermediate Classes will build on the foundation learned in our Junior Classes – developing functional and healthy throwing mechanics, while delivering consistent pitch execution leading to an increase in strike percentage – throwing fewer pitches per inning, per game, per season – ultimately leading to shorter recovery periods and arm health maintenance.

• Emphasis on Arm Care and Arm Health

• Daily Throwing Plan to Build Arm Strength and Arm Endurance

• Consistent Throwing Mechanics – Full Wind-Up and Stretch Technique

• Pitch Development and Execution

• Game Management – Controlling the Running Game and PFPs

December 3rd – March 31st
Classes meet 3-days a week – see schedule below for times.

Our High School Classes are offered to our older athletes who are preparing to take their pitching development to the next level – and to maximize their success as a College pitcher.  Athletes can expect to receive education on how to communicate with High School Coaches, Summer Coaches, and Pitching Coaches.  Further, athletes will learn what College Coaches are looking for in a pitcher, and just how to gain that mental edge and physical wisdom to compete as a College-Level pitcher.  As with our Junior and Intermediate Classes, focus will be on developing functional and healthy throwing mechanics, while delivering consistent pitch execution leading to an increase in strike percentage – throwing fewer pitches per inning, per game, per season – ultimately leading to shorter recovery periods and arm health maintenance.

• Emphasis on Arm Care and Arm Health

• Daily Throwing Plan to Build Arm Strength and Arm Endurance

• Maximize Throwing Mechanics – Full Wind-Up and Stretch Technique

• Expand upon Pitch Development and Execution

• Game Management – Controlling the Running Game and PFPs

December 2nd – March 31st
Program meets 3-days a week AND includes our Winter Velocity Program – see schedule below for class times.
